Good afternoon everyone,

Please find attached the revised Terms of Reference for the Faculty of Graduate Studies Travel Award, which was recently approved by Senate and the Board of Governors. One of the notable changes to the award is the GPA requirement. It is now 3.50 in each of the last two years of study (or equivalent) and the students must be in good standing, and no longer 3.50 in the last 60 credit hours of study (or equivalent).

Otherwise, all other requirements of the award are still the same, along with the online application needed to apply for the award.

Any students previously approved under the former regulations before today's date will still be eligible.

The information has been updated on our database, and the link is herehttp://webapps.cc.umanitoba.ca/gradawards/index.asp?WCI=SearchForm&WCE=browse&keywords=&criteria=any&category=0&citizen=0&range=0-1000000&tenable=0&byResearch=on&byAward=on&byEligibility=on&id=2747&letter=F.

Any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you, Laura.
